Since I really don't have anything to discuss today, you are in for a special treat. I'm going to share a little piece of info with you that will change the way you eat. This is a little gem of knowledge that should benefit you for years to come.
Some people like salads, they claim they are healthy. Guess what? They're right. But, when you are heating your healthy salad full of healthy vitamins like Vitamin K, or A, or D or E, you may be just eating and not really doing anything beneficial. You see, these vitamins, and other healthy minerals, are fat soluble, but not water soluble. This means that water won't associate with these vitamins. And if they aren't picked up by water and there is no fat to grab onto them, your body will just keep them going right on their merry way. It's like swallowing a rock as far as your body is concerned. It doesn't want it. But if you wrap it in a little fat, ahhh, then the body likes it a lot. So yummy. It absorbs the vitamin with the fat and poof! now you have vitamins.
So if you eat a plain old boring salad, these vitamins will just pass on through. To get the most out of your salad, pour a little salad dressing on it to ensure you get the most out of your eating experience. Ranch and Italian are some of the best, but any of them will work I suppose.
For those of you who are health conscious and don't just eat salads for their delicious taste, salad dressing can quickly undermine your diet. Whatever should you do? Try pouring a little olive oil on top. Not only is olive oil good for you but it helps those little vitamins do their job too.
Wasn't that helpful? Maybe I'll share some more hints another time. Like some tips about calcium. That's a funny subject. Wahoo. Good old calcium. Anyway, never say that I don't do anything for you. Hopefully I will have something good for you tomorrow.
